Phillies place Bohm on IL, notes on Nola, Walker and Painter
Phillies place Bohm on IL, notes on Nola, Walker and Painter originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia The Phillies placed Alec Bohm on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left rib prior to Saturday's game against the Angels. The club recalled Weston Wilson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Bohm on the 26-man roster. Bohm aggravated the injury during Friday's loss to the Angels. 'He felt the rib thing last night in his last at-bat,' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday afternoon. 'He came in today and he still felt it so he's going to see the doctor.' Turns out that visit to the doctor resulted in an IL stint. Bohm sustained the injury when he was hit by a pitch last Saturday in San Diego. He missed the final game before the All-Star break. The hope was that he would be good to go following the break. Bohm is hitting .278 with eight home runs and 42 RBI in 92 games this season. He's hitting .304 in his last 64 games following a poor April. Wilson hit .194 in 20 games with the Phillies earlier this season before being demoted to Triple-A on June 19th. Otto Kemp will play third base on Saturday. The Phillies will likely use a combination of Kemp, Edmundo Sosa, Wilson and potentially Bryson Stott at third base while Bohm is sidelined. Sosa gets the start at second base on Saturday against Angels lefthander Yusei Kikuchi. Brandon Marsh moves over to left field with John Rojas playing center field. It's a rare start against a lefty for Marsh. 'I like the way Marsh is swinging the bat,' Thomson said. 'And we get really good defense out there (with Marsh and Rojas in the outfield).' Good news for Nola Aaron Nola's live batting practice session on Saturday was a success. 'Very good,' Thomson said when asked how Nola looked. '34 pitches, two ups (innings). Command was really good. Curveball was really good.' Nola will throw a bullpen session either Monday or Tuesday. If that goes well he could head out on a minor league rehab assignment. Signs point towards an early August return for Nola. Walker's next opportunity Taijuan Walker will make his 10th start of the season Saturday. Walker has spent his third season with the Phillies bouncing back and forth between the starting rotation and the bullpen. He's made 11 relief appearances and has a 3.55 ERA overall. Thomson raves about Walker's team-first mentality. 'He's been great,' Thomson said. 'He's been throwing the ball well, he really has. He's battled. I felt for him last year and all the stuff that he went through. This year he's done everything that we've asked him to do. And along the way, whatever situation he's been in, he's thrown the ball pretty well. Hopefully it continues.' Walker threw a bullpen session in Arizona during the All-Star break and should be more stretched out for tonight's outing. He threw 63 pitches in his last start 11 days ago in San Francisco. The fifth starter spot appears to be Walker's to lose until Nola returns. Mick Abel and Andrew Painter are currently pitching for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Progress for Painter Speaking of Andrew Painter – the Phillies' top prospect will start on Thursday for Lehigh Valley. Painter has a 5.01 ERA in 12 starts in Triple-A this season. Thomson discussed Painter's progress prior to this weekend's series. 'He's healthy,' Thomson said. 'I think his command isn't quite where it normally is for him. But his stuff is good… we'll just go start by start.' Before the season Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski mentioned 'July-ish' as a potential Phillies debut date for Painter. That timeline seems far-fetched with just 12 days left in the month. 'You can't put a date on it,' Thomson said. 'I've always said the whole time that he's got to be healthy and he's got to be performing and there's got to be a spot here. I think he's going to get to the point where he's Andrew Painter, the normal Andrew Painter. I don't think he's quite there yet.' Phillies managing partner and CEO John Middleton echoed Thomson's sentiments on Painter's command issues. 'He's getting there,' Middleton said. 'It's hard. I remember years ago talking to some trainers and some orthopedic surgeons and they said 'when you have Tommy John surgery you lose five miles per hour off every pitch and you lose command. The velocity comes back pretty quickly. Command can take a while.' I think he's just experiencing as he's gotten up into the higher ranks now, it's testing his command. And that's good, he'll learn.' Middleton was asked if he's excited for Painter's eventual big league debut. 'I'll be excited when he's shutting people down,' Middleton said. 'Which he will. He's a smart guy, he's a determined guy. So he'll get it right and he'll get it when he gets it. And hopefully he'll get it sooner rather than later for us.'
